Elevator control system

Abstract

An elevator control system includes an entrance person authentication section provided at a predetermined distance from an elevator hall for permitting a visitor to use an elevator and register a call of the elevator. A storage section stores a predetermined estimated move time value for the visitor to move from the entrance person authentication section to the hall. An arrival detection section detects the elevator arriving at the hall. A timer starts to count based on permission of the entrance person authentication section and sets an arrival time value when the arrival detection section detects the elevator arriving at the hall. A display notifies a passenger in a car or at the hall of a presence of the visitor. If the arrival time value is shorter than the estimated move time value, the display is activated.

1. An elevator control system comprising:
 permission means provided at a predetermined distance from an elevator hall for permitting a first passenger to use an elevator and registering a call of the elevator; 
 storage means for storing a predetermined estimated move time value for the first passenger to move from said permission means to the hall; 
 arrival detection means for detecting the elevator arriving at the hall; 
 time count means for starting to count based on permission of said permission means and setting the arrival time value when said arrival detection means detects the elevator arriving at the hall; 
 riding detection means for detecting a person getting in the elevator; and 
 notifications means for notifying a second passenger in a car or at the hall of a presence of the first passenger, 
 wherein said notification means is activated if the arrival time value is shorter than the estimated move time value and also if the riding detection means detects the second passenger getting in the elevator. 
 
   
   
     2. An elevator control system comprising:
 permission means provided at a predetermined distance from an elevator hall for permitting a first passenger to use an elevator and registering a call of the elevator; 
 storage means for storing a predetermined estimated move time value for the first passenger to move from said permission means to the hall; 
 arrival detection means for detecting the elevator arriving at the hall; 
 time count means for starting to count based on permission of said permission means and setting the arrival time value when said arrival detection means detects the elevator arriving at the hall; 
 determination means for determining whether or not the elevator stops on a floor where the first passenger is scheduled to get into a car and a car call in a same direction as the call is registered, and 
 notification means for notifying a second passenger in the car or at the hall of a presence of the first passenger, 
 wherein said notification means is activated if the arrival time value is shorter than the estimated move time value and also if the determination means determines that the car call is registered. 
 
   
   
     3. The elevator control system according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein an operation of said notification means is stopped when an estimated time expires. 
 
   
   
     4. The elevator control system according to  claim 2 , wherein an operation of said notification means is stopped when an estimated time expires.
